Recipes around oats and rice (separate not together)

keza

Hi all,

I have a lot of rice and oats in the cupboards and wondered if anyone has some tasty recipes I can try!

I have had a look on the recipes on the GC thread but there's so many to look thru and I haven't the time (being a full time working mum to one!)

I already make twinks and flapjacks wih oats and use rice to have with chicken etc but want to try so other recipes

Thanks in advance

use oats instead of half of the flour in a crumble topping

pilau rice is a great standby and useful for using leftovers
here's the basic recipe:

cook with stock instead of water, add any or all of a small handful of sultanas, small handful of flaked almonds, handful of chopped leftover chicken just before putting on the lid and leaving to cook. You can add other spices (cinnamon, saffron, cardamom etc) add different meats or other leftovers. It's a great way of making a maincourse out of rice and some flavourings and leftovers or storecupboard ingredients.

SAVOURY RICE

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

1 onion
100g of bacon
50g of cooked ham
2 tablespoons of oil
150g of rice
1 beef stock cube
400ml of water
50g of frozen peas
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

METHOD

Peel the onion and chop it into tiny pieces. Chop the bacon and ham into 2cm (1 inch) pieces.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the bacon and onion. Fry them for about 5 minutes until the meat is just cooked. Stir frequently to stop them sticking.

Add the rice. Stir well. Fry for another 5 minutes until the rice is golden. Stir all the time to stop it sticking.

Add the stock cube and water, peas and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly.

Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering). Stir once to stop it sticking to the bottom. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.

DO NOT STIR!

Take the pan off the heat and let it stand for a couple of minutes.

Fluff it up with a fork to separate the grains.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Use a beef stock cube for preference, but a chicken or vegetable one will do.

TIPS

Basmati is the best all purpose rice. It cooks quickly, it is more fragrant (it’s Hindi for fragrant) than long grain and it also holds together during cooking.

oat and raisin cookies


Ingredients


Serves: 18

• 85 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 115 g light muscovado sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 115 g self-raising flour
• 55 g medium oatmeal
• 170 g raisins
  
  Preparation method
  
  Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins 1.
  Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF, gas mark 4). Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then gradually beat in the egg. Sift in the flour, then fold it in with the oatmeal and raisins.
  
  2.
  Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto 3 greased baking sheets, leaving enough space around each cookie to allow it to spread during baking.
  
  3.
  Bake for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. These cookies can be kept in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

I am assuming long grain rice?
I eat rice with almost any casserole / stew
Any sort of pilaff recipe

Left-over cooked rice: season well (and I add chillies) and mix with some egg then fry dollops to go with almost anything (usually breakfast)
You can also mix with tinned tuna (or any fish) and make fish cakes

I often make risotto. It's a great way to make a little protein go a long way! One of my favourites is Spanish rice using left over cooked chicken (from a roast, perhaps) and a small amount of chorizo (I use about 30g for 2 of us) and then throw in a handful of peas at the end.

Another one I make is pea and prawn, but could do it with something like smoked haddock.
